Having a writable attribute in both the control and the model is not going to give coherent results in the case where you have more than one view on the same model. So you might need to rethink the idea of having a writable property on the view (the control) while also having state (via a writable attribute) on the model.

Making the property in the model be the primary and having the RTA setter/getter forward to the model makes it a lot like setUndoRedoEnable, which seems like a good choice. The state is only in one place (the model) with convenience methods in the control.
